Abstract

In a Diesel engine with variably actuated valves, the cam (9) controlling each inlet valve (VI) is shaped to provoke the opening of the respective inlet valve (VI) during the engine's normal exhaust phase and thus realize exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) within the engine, due to the fact that during the normal exhaust phase, part of the exhaust gas (BA) passes from the cylinder into the inlet port (I), from where it returns to the cylinder during the next induction phase, while part of the exhaust gas (Bs) that had previously passed into the exhaust port returns to the cylinder during the said induction phase due to the additional opening of the exhaust valve (VE), in consequence of which the exhaust gas charges (BA, BS) that return to the cylinder are subjected to further combustion in the next engine cycle.
